- Pimp my meatballs -- Collagen injections safeguard nutrients
04-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Injecting meatballs with collagen can help the meat to retain the important nutrients iodine and thiamine. Collagen fiber or collagen hydrolysate saturated with potassium iodide makes the nutrients more stable than potassium iodide introduced using iodized table salt. Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps the body’s cells to convert carbohydrates into energy. It is found in many foods, like lean meats, but especially pork. Insufficient amounts of thiamine can lead to nerve damage, weakness, fatigue and psychosis.
